You want to make a stock posting to/from the inspection stock. This is

The inspection stock should be increased, although an inspection is not
foreseen for the current goods movement
The inspection stock should be released, although you can only do this
using the QM transactions.

System Response

You cannot carry out the stock posting.

How to fix this error?

Check both the QM inspection setup data and the movement type for
material &v1& in the quality management view of the material master.

If you post a return delivery to a supplier with reference to a purchase
order, or cancel a goods receipt, the stock indicator from the order is
proposed.
Check and modify this proposal as required.
The stock may have been transferred already and is therefore no longer
in inspection stock.
